Thermoplastic Welding
It is possible to weld thermoplastic material (plastic that can be softened or shaped by heat) with a Seelye electric hot air welder This lightweight hand-held equipment makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to develop the ldquofeelrdquo for welding plastic and to do it economically and with speed after only a few hours of study and practice Whether fabricating thermoplastic stock or repairing various types of plastic parts hot air welding is usually performed on plastics with a minimum thickness of 116 inch or more The bond achieved depending on the type of weld is generally as strong (90 or greater) as the original material
User Friendly Hot Air Welding
Seelye Hot Air Welding Equipment is specially designed for extensive hand-held use without causing the operator fatigue The equipment is light and very maneuverable It can be moved easily from one project work area to another All that is needed is a concentrated effort to learn about the use of the equipment
Welding Safety
After following Seelyersquos step-by-step instructions as well as those issued by the manufacturers of the plastic materials you will be on your way to welding Hot air welding is safe because there is no flame spark or smoke involved Special venting hoods and ducting are not required Observe these simple precautions
1 Never attempt to perform hot air welding with a flammable gas 2 To avoid burning out the heating element always remember AIR FLOW FIRST and AIR FLOW
LAST Start the air flow before the heating element Set the air flow between 4 to 6 PSI (depending on which welder is being used and what type of plastic is being welded) Air pressure minimum settings vary depending on welder model
3 Never touch metal parts on the welding gun until they have cooled 4 Always use a pliers to change the tip on a welding gun (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR CROSS
THREAD) 5 Disconnect the electricity to the gun but continue the air flow The gun will cool faster and the
electric heating element will last longer 6 Do not put the welder in a vise to change heating elements 7 Keep away from children

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Thermoplastic Welding
It is possible to weld thermoplastic material (plastic that can be softened or shaped by heat) with a Seelye electric hot air welder This lightweight hand-held equipment makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to develop the ldquofeelrdquo for welding plastic and to do it economically and with speed after only a few hours of study and practice Whether fabricating thermoplastic stock or repairing various types of plastic parts hot air welding is usually performed on plastics with a minimum thickness of 116 inch or more The bond achieved depending on the type of weld is generally as strong (90 or greater) as the original material
User Friendly Hot Air Welding
Seelye Hot Air Welding Equipment is specially designed for extensive hand-held use without causing the operator fatigue The equipment is light and very maneuverable It can be moved easily from one project work area to another All that is needed is a concentrated effort to learn about the use of the equipment
Welding Safety
After following Seelyersquos step-by-step instructions as well as those issued by the manufacturers of the plastic materials you will be on your way to welding Hot air welding is safe because there is no flame spark or smoke involved Special venting hoods and ducting are not required Observe these simple precautions
1 Never attempt to perform hot air welding with a flammable gas 2 To avoid burning out the heating element always remember AIR FLOW FIRST and AIR FLOW
LAST Start the air flow before the heating element Set the air flow between 4 to 6 PSI (depending on which welder is being used and what type of plastic is being welded) Air pressure minimum settings vary depending on welder model
3 Never touch metal parts on the welding gun until they have cooled 4 Always use a pliers to change the tip on a welding gun (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR CROSS
THREAD) 5 Disconnect the electricity to the gun but continue the air flow The gun will cool faster and the
electric heating element will last longer 6 Do not put the welder in a vise to change heating elements 7 Keep away from children

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Thermoplastic Welding
It is possible to weld thermoplastic material (plastic that can be softened or shaped by heat) with a Seelye electric hot air welder This lightweight hand-held equipment makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to develop the ldquofeelrdquo for welding plastic and to do it economically and with speed after only a few hours of study and practice Whether fabricating thermoplastic stock or repairing various types of plastic parts hot air welding is usually performed on plastics with a minimum thickness of 116 inch or more The bond achieved depending on the type of weld is generally as strong (90 or greater) as the original material
User Friendly Hot Air Welding
Seelye Hot Air Welding Equipment is specially designed for extensive hand-held use without causing the operator fatigue The equipment is light and very maneuverable It can be moved easily from one project work area to another All that is needed is a concentrated effort to learn about the use of the equipment
Welding Safety
After following Seelyersquos step-by-step instructions as well as those issued by the manufacturers of the plastic materials you will be on your way to welding Hot air welding is safe because there is no flame spark or smoke involved Special venting hoods and ducting are not required Observe these simple precautions
1 Never attempt to perform hot air welding with a flammable gas 2 To avoid burning out the heating element always remember AIR FLOW FIRST and AIR FLOW
LAST Start the air flow before the heating element Set the air flow between 4 to 6 PSI (depending on which welder is being used and what type of plastic is being welded) Air pressure minimum settings vary depending on welder model
3 Never touch metal parts on the welding gun until they have cooled 4 Always use a pliers to change the tip on a welding gun (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR CROSS
THREAD) 5 Disconnect the electricity to the gun but continue the air flow The gun will cool faster and the
electric heating element will last longer 6 Do not put the welder in a vise to change heating elements 7 Keep away from children

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Thermoplastic Welding
It is possible to weld thermoplastic material (plastic that can be softened or shaped by heat) with a Seelye electric hot air welder This lightweight hand-held equipment makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to develop the ldquofeelrdquo for welding plastic and to do it economically and with speed after only a few hours of study and practice Whether fabricating thermoplastic stock or repairing various types of plastic parts hot air welding is usually performed on plastics with a minimum thickness of 116 inch or more The bond achieved depending on the type of weld is generally as strong (90 or greater) as the original material
User Friendly Hot Air Welding
Seelye Hot Air Welding Equipment is specially designed for extensive hand-held use without causing the operator fatigue The equipment is light and very maneuverable It can be moved easily from one project work area to another All that is needed is a concentrated effort to learn about the use of the equipment
Welding Safety
After following Seelyersquos step-by-step instructions as well as those issued by the manufacturers of the plastic materials you will be on your way to welding Hot air welding is safe because there is no flame spark or smoke involved Special venting hoods and ducting are not required Observe these simple precautions
1 Never attempt to perform hot air welding with a flammable gas 2 To avoid burning out the heating element always remember AIR FLOW FIRST and AIR FLOW
LAST Start the air flow before the heating element Set the air flow between 4 to 6 PSI (depending on which welder is being used and what type of plastic is being welded) Air pressure minimum settings vary depending on welder model
3 Never touch metal parts on the welding gun until they have cooled 4 Always use a pliers to change the tip on a welding gun (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR CROSS
THREAD) 5 Disconnect the electricity to the gun but continue the air flow The gun will cool faster and the
electric heating element will last longer 6 Do not put the welder in a vise to change heating elements 7 Keep away from children

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Thermoplastic Welding
It is possible to weld thermoplastic material (plastic that can be softened or shaped by heat) with a Seelye electric hot air welder This lightweight hand-held equipment makes it easy for even an inexperienced user to develop the ldquofeelrdquo for welding plastic and to do it economically and with speed after only a few hours of study and practice Whether fabricating thermoplastic stock or repairing various types of plastic parts hot air welding is usually performed on plastics with a minimum thickness of 116 inch or more The bond achieved depending on the type of weld is generally as strong (90 or greater) as the original material
User Friendly Hot Air Welding
Seelye Hot Air Welding Equipment is specially designed for extensive hand-held use without causing the operator fatigue The equipment is light and very maneuverable It can be moved easily from one project work area to another All that is needed is a concentrated effort to learn about the use of the equipment
Welding Safety
After following Seelyersquos step-by-step instructions as well as those issued by the manufacturers of the plastic materials you will be on your way to welding Hot air welding is safe because there is no flame spark or smoke involved Special venting hoods and ducting are not required Observe these simple precautions
1 Never attempt to perform hot air welding with a flammable gas 2 To avoid burning out the heating element always remember AIR FLOW FIRST and AIR FLOW
LAST Start the air flow before the heating element Set the air flow between 4 to 6 PSI (depending on which welder is being used and what type of plastic is being welded) Air pressure minimum settings vary depending on welder model
3 Never touch metal parts on the welding gun until they have cooled 4 Always use a pliers to change the tip on a welding gun (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR CROSS
THREAD) 5 Disconnect the electricity to the gun but continue the air flow The gun will cool faster and the
electric heating element will last longer 6 Do not put the welder in a vise to change heating elements 7 Keep away from children

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Standard Weld Identification
Similar to metal welding the same types of welds are performed in hot air welding these consist of butt welds fillet welds lap-joints edge welds and corner welds See the diagram of each type of weld below
Setting Up the Welding Equipment
1 Connect your Seelye Gun to a clean dry air supply (compressed air ndash 90 PSI minimum) or an inert gas 2 Your Seelye welder can be plugged into any 110 volt AC outlet Now that you have
your air supply flowing plug into the electrical source and allow the welder to warm up for several minutes before starting to weld
3 Be sure to select the proper welding tip bull Tacking Tip is used for fitting up the work No rod or strip is required bull Round Tip is used for small are welds Any size welding rod can be used bull Automatic Speed Tip is used for speed and larger areas Size of tip will depend on size of welding rod needed
4 Always use a pliers to install and remove tips Do not over tighten or cross thread
Step-by-Step Welding Procedure
A Determine whether the type of weld being performed requires a beveled edge See diagrams on the Types of Welds Chart above
B If beveling is required perform the beveling with a grinder andor table saw Bevel a 60deg angle
C Clean dust and dirt from materials to be welded To remove oily substance use Methyl Ethyl Keton (MEK) Be sure materials to be welded are dry before starting to tack weld

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod
DO NOT USE NEAR FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS bull TIPS AND BARRELS ARE HOT ndash DO NOT TOUCH
C Select the proper welding temperature and air flow setting (See page 7 chart) D Install the Round Tip for permanent welding
Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Tack Welding for Work Fit Up
A After you have installed the Seelye Tacking Tip start the air flow plug in the electrical source and allow the welding tip to heat for several minutes
B While the tip is heating line up pieces to be welded By this stage you should have prepared the plastic pieces carefully made the necessary bevels if required and cleaned and dried the pieces to be welded
C No rod or strip is required for tack welding with hot air Apply the hot Tacking Tip to the area or seam where the plastic pieces are to be joined moving the tip along both pieces at the same time until the plastic fuses (joins) together
D Do enough tack welds to hold the weight of the pieces together With large pieces it may be necessary to draw the Tacking Tip along the entire seam fusing the work continuously This will hold the weld together properly for accurate permanent bonding which will be performed during the next phase of work
E Avoid overheating the tack points This causes the plastic material to discolor char or warp If you are not properly fitted start over Tack welds are easy to break Before doing a new tack weld grind the tack points down to smooth edges
Permanent Welding with Hot Air
A Before starting the permanent weld be sure to select the right type of welding rod (or strip)
It must be the same type of plastic as the material you will be bonding together Usually the manufacturer of the plastic material will label the plastic type for easy identification ndash please visit our website wwwseelyeinc-orlcom to view our Types of Plastics chart If you do not know what type of plastic you are welding refer to our Burn Chart to identify the material you are going to weld
B For maximum welding economy select a rod diameter size close to the thickness size of the base material For base Material thickness greater than 316rdquo diameter more than one rod will be necessary Example To weld a frac14rdquo thick plastic fill in the beveled area with three beads of 532rdquo diameter welding rod

Allow the Round Tip to heat properly If you Change the Tacking Tip to the Round Tip while The welding gun is hot be sure to unscrew the Tacking Tip and screw in the Round Tip using a Pliers Do not overtighten it should be snug only
E Cut the end of the rod at 60deg angle Hold the cut end of the rod just above the weld starting point Apply heat to the rod end and the base material seam at the same time until both are tacky Press the tacky end of the rod down into the tacky starting point of the base materials Only the surface of the rod and base materials will be tacky but will bond properly The rod will continue to hold its basic shape for the most part throughout the welding work
F Continue the weld holding the rod at a 90deg angle directly above the weld seam press firmly and evenly down into the weld joint as you apply heat in the direction of the weld seam with a short fanning motion (see illustration) As the rod and base material become tacky if you are welding at the proper temperature a loop will form where the rod joins the base materials and small beads will form on either side of the completed weld
G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam
A few hours of practice welding will give the ldquofeelrdquo for maintaining the right even pressure on the rod straight down into the weld area Please view our videos and tutorials for more information

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

G At the end of the weld cut the rod with a knife or pliers at a 30deg angle Cut the end of the new rod at a 60deg angle to continue
There should be no charring discoloration or warping if proper heat is applied There should be
no stretching of the welding rod This will weaken the rod bond and can be avoided by taking care to press directly down on the rod rather than pushing the rod along the direction of the weld seam

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Weld Quality Analysis
A Check the quality of your weld You can tell more about the quality of the weld by its appearance The Weld Quality Analysis Chart below shows what a good permanent weld looks like
B If you require less heat increase air pressure Do NOT go below 4 PSI
High Speed Welding Either the rod or strip is fed through a special high speed welding tip containing a feeding channel
which makes it unnecessary for the weldor to hold to the rod or strip in hand while welding is preformed A person performing high speed welding moving the welder at proper speed can join approximately 2 to 3 feet of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Polyethylene or Polypropylene (PP) per minute Seams joints or repair areas can be as strong or stronger than the original or base material welded (90 or better depending on the type of weld applied) When performing high speed welding remove welding rod from feeder tube immediately when weld
is complete Always clean the rod feeder tube with a small bristle brush before and after completion of weld

ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it

Most Common Weldable Thermoplastic Materials HDPE (Polyethylene)
High Density Polyethylene is one the most common form If not welded properly it will easily separate from the substrate in the ldquowettedrdquo or melted state and must be held in place until the clear color on the surface turns back to its original appearance Other densities include Low Medium High and Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) The Low Density is much softer and more flexible You can weld a higher density with a lower density rod however you cannot weld a lower density with a higher density rod If you identify a polyethylene with the burn test and you think it is high density but it will not weld it is either Ultra High Molecular Weight or a cross link material The UHMW requires a special welder (either SI-2001FC Series or SI-1197CH Series) welding rod and welding tip for proper welding The cross link is a thermoset and is not welded
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene welds very well if done properly The rod does not soften completely through and will remain stiff making welding in and out of corners and around outside corners difficult If multiple welds are run such as in the corner of a tank relieve stress in the areas by heating the weld and the tank walls on either side of the weld and then cool it slowly by covering it This process is called annealing and will add years to the life of your weld
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS has a good esthetic value and can be finished by sanding and painting ABS is commonly used in the automotive industry
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
CPVC will produce a good weld if you sand or scrape both the welding rod and the surface to be welded to remove the coat of plasticizer that leaches from the CPVC material Removing it with chemicals is not recommended as this will lead to softening the material andor leaving a residue on the surface More heat must be concentrated on the substrate when hand welding CPVC It is recommended that an automatic speed tip is used to ensure proper pre-heating of the substrate Be careful to guard against scorching which will weaken the weld considerably
TPUR (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
TPUR produces a strong weld once the material has cured but will pull loose immediately after welding similar to Polyethylene To determine the proper cure time weld a short bead and test the strength by pulling up on the ldquotailrdquo of the rod once it has cooled and every five minutes thereafter
Scorching or discoloration of PVC will weaken the weld To avoid this problem either reduce the power (if using a Seelye welder with a control board) or heat by increasing the air flow or increase your welding speed If backwelding pipe fittings never attempt to weld over cement first remove cement by either grinding or by other means
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF welds by hand or automatic speed tip at approximately 900 F ndash 1000 F and is very strong All welds of PVDF will provide good performance for many years if annealed The process of annealing is to heat the weld and the substrate around the welded area and allow it to cool slowly by covering it
